IoT devices in the enterprise pose a significant security risk, according to a report commissioned by the UK government.
The report highlighted that many organizations are running outdated software and are not following security standards.
Vulnerabilities were found that could lead to remote code execution attacks, potentially allowing threat actors to gain full control over devices.
The majority of tested devices were found to have insecure configurations, with some running highly privileged processes that could lead to serious consequences in case of a breach.
